I’d noticed my cat straining in the litter box around 11am Tuesday morning. I thought he was constipated so I broke out the canned food and olive oil. He kept going into the litter box trying so hard and so often that he’d actually laid outside of the box napping there between bouts. I made […]

When Bub gets sick, he goes all out on my wallet. Even after discount we managed to rack up about $500. He’s been randomly vomiting for three or four days so we went in. We did bloodwork to check organ function, gave him an anti nausea injection, took x-rays and injected him with subcutaneous fluids. […]

After the passing of my veterinarian, the search had begun for a new one. Honey had been 1 month into treatment for hyperthyroidism and I wanted to make sure we were on the right track. I come to find out that my old vet was both a genius and a savant. I got very frustrated […]

Skeeter had her xray come back showing multiple small bladder stones that the vet believes she will pass on her own with some extra attention. I haven’t seen it yet, as he has been busy with clients to get me the digital copy, but he did set me up with an aggressive treatment program. She’s […]

Weight loss gradual and fluctuating. Possible hypertension. Unlikely because of the nature of the weight loss, but possible. History of cystitis Oct 25, 2011. […]

When I heard the diagnosis I was beside myself. Cats are naturally agile, independent, stealthy, ornery, daring ninjas of furry death. How would a disease like asthma effect the new kid? Stewart joined us on Halloween. He ran up to the kids and started playing with them while they were waiting for the bus. Then, […]

Two nights ago I took Tommy to the 24 hr vet clinic to be seen for an upper throat spasm. He had been sneezing here and there for two weeks and then during Wednesday he noticeably started coughing. It worsened into the evening and Dismal went to look online to research his symptoms. More often, […]

I stopped going to that job. I’m still up by 8 am lately and doing things around the house. I bought a shock collar for the dog! It’s hilarious. Ok it’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s the same kind of zap you get from getting shocked opening your car door and holding a […]

I went back to work on October 15th. I can’t say I’m thrilled with it because I don’t sleep well and I get up at 4 am to be at the office at 6am. Sometimes the doors around my home get opened further than they should be a cat and then next thing I know […]

Yesterday with Chai weighing at 849 grams and being 2 weeks post surgery, I put her back in the pen. She has atrophe to her leg muscles and needs the space. Skeeter, the naked stupid one, decided to challenge her as she’d been bullying Mu-Xi for the last week. convalesced and ancient, Chai beat her […]
